While Mr. Sam ridicules and humiliates him, Marvin watches with perfect clarity as the pretty San Diego co-ed, his favorite Monday customer, makes her way around campus 8 miles away. But when Fate needs a cheap thrill or accrual laugh, it looks up a Marvin Moy. a stream of thugs and sadness make Marvin the target of increasingly inhumane acts, and slowly Marvin's dreams go out of control.
